Analysis of the Seismic Site Effects along the Ancient Via Laurentina (Rome)

Abstract

This paper presents an evaluation of the Local Seismic Response (LSR) along the route of the ancient Roman road Via

PERL: a dataset of geotechnical, geophysical, and hydrogeological parameters for earthquake-induced hazards assessment in Terre del Reno (Emilia-Romagna, Italy)

“…As widely reported in the bibliography, the propagation of seismic waves through the upper portion of the soil can be modified by local site conditions (i.e., Bozzano et al, 2017;Fabozzi et al, 2021;Falcone et al, 2020Falcone et al, , 2021Gautam, 2017;Luo et al, 2020;Meza-Fajardo et al, 2019) and can determine the triggering of earthquakeinduced effects at ground surface (i.e., Forte et al, 2021;Martino et al, 2017Martino et al, , 2019Giannini et al, 2022;Paolella et al, 2022). In Terre del Reno, these earthquakes triggered several earthquake-induced effects (Chini et al, 2015;Papathanassiou et al, 2015), among which linear and punctual liquefaction effects were the most prominent.…”

Identifying the influence of a large alluvial valley on train-induced vibration propagation in Rome by an integrated approach

“…The Marne Vaticane Formation represents the local geological bedrock (Bozzano et al, 2008), while, according to the Italian Building code (NTC 2018), the top of the MV unit corresponds to a seismic bedrock, as its shear-wave value is higher than 800 m/s (Caserta et al, 2013;Pagliaroli et al, 2014;Bozzano et al, 2016Bozzano et al, , 2017Meza-Fajardo et al, 2019). Recently, deep bedrock responsible for the presence of a very-low-frequency resonance (0.2-0.4 Hz) range was identified in the Rome city centre by geophysical surveys (Marcucci et al, 2019).…”
